Reply to SAE Institute Singapore/ Audio Engineering Opportunities: Should I go for it?

Hey guys,

I'm currently at a crossroads in my life and trying to make a decision on whether I should continue with my Bachelor's Degree in Advertising at a local University or go to an audio school (SAE Institute) in Singapore. I've always been interested in making music and it has played a big role in my life (which also led me to these community s) but I'm a creative type and originally considered doing advertising as my career.

The past 2 years I've been an Advertising Major at a local community college here in california and I just sent in an application to a University to complete the next 2 years for my major in Advertising but at the same time I've discovered that there's a possibility for me to study Audio Engineering at SAE Institute in Singapore. However, I've been researching and it seems that many people are against studying in audio schools such as SAE and claiming that the current job market is very bad and studios are closing down and it's not worth pursuing as a career unless I know the right people. I was wondering if any studio owners or recording engineers could confirm this? Ideally I want to produce my own music and get signed to a label and live off of that, but I don't mind working as an audio engineer either (anything that has me working with music is fine by me). If someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

Thank you!
